About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

The organizations held a ceremonial check presentation on Tuesday, December 14, 2021.

Hand Up Network is a faith-based organization that focuses on offering low- to moderate-income people a “hand up” rather than a “hand-out” to improve their overall mental, emotional and physical well-being, including employment counseling, skills development, financial literacy and mentorship.

“Our programs are designed to focus on encouraging, equipping and empowering adults who want to change their own circumstances,” said Hand Up Network CEO Samuel Smith. “We are thankful to have received Partnership Grant Program funds that will create a direct impact on those community members that we serve.”

Austin Bank Senior Vice President and CRA Officer Debbie Braune said the PGP is a great tool for community banks.

“FHLB Dallas’ PGP is a unique program that allows us to partner with community-based organizations and assist in serving the community,” said Ms. Braune. “Hand Up Network provides a well-rounded holistic approach to helping people get back on their feet, and we are proud to be part of that.”

For 2021, FHLB Dallas awarded $400,000 in PGP grants, and its members provided an additional $200,250 for an impact of more than $600,000 in its five-state District of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas.

“Hand Up Network brings a lot of value to its community with the programs it offers for low- to moderate-income residents,” said Greg Hettrick, first vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. “We are grateful to partner with Austin Bank to help a community-based organization continue carrying out its mission for the people it serves.”
